"I am not going to waste public dollars on lessons that imply the superiority of any race and hinder free speech."

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed a law that prevents both the state and any local government from implementing critical race theory indoctrination.

House Bill 2906 prohibits the state or any of the local governments from mandating "orientation, training or therapy that suggest an employee is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously." The text of the bill describes that by the end of the year, state agencies will be obligated to submit routine reports to the governor's office ensuring compliance of the bill.

"When I took office, I vowed to use taxpayer dollars responsibly, and funding training on political commentary is not responsible spending. I am not going to waste public dollars on lessons that imply the superiority of any race and hinder free speech," Ducey declared via Friday press release.
